24 HOUR PRAYER

I would like to challenge the world to have one day of peace, something this great land of ours really and truly needs For one day of peace, can we show each other a little human kindness, just leave all the bad memories and negativity behind us, as we say a prayer in silence For one day of peace, can we say no to anger and hello to love, for 24 hours, just think with our hearts, instead of always using our guns For one day of peace, can we truly be honest, not as an American or politician, but as one single person on this earth, that can see what the problem is For one day of peace, can you imagine such an enormous accomplishment, to only show each other love instead of sin and violence For one day of peace, can we think of togetherness, instead of so much seperation, be more humanitarian, and help heal this nation For one day of peace, are we willing to ignore hatred and embrace human exceptance, we only have one chance at life, I'd rather enjoy it, than spend the rest of my life trying to forget it

I adore the concept

but its kind of a wish. What is not a wish, what is possible, is that we each, individually, live each day as one day of peace. cheers, Jess

Is It a wish?

Jess Wishing and hoping are about the same, and there is always hope for a brigther tomorrow, if you feel it is a wish, I can except that. Although I do not think you saw the big picture, and I guess that is my fault as the poet. It is going to take more that just you and I, that is why I specifically said "we", and everyone knows the possibilities are endless, and I don't think there is anything wrong with looking past your own front door, if you are reaching out to help your fellow man, my work is meant to inspire and make people think, Thank you Jess, for your valuble input, I appreciate it ver much. Toni Sears aka fabulous
